David Padgett Reportedly to Be Named Louisville Interim Head Coach
The Louisville Cardinals will reportedly name assistant David Padgett as their interim head coach "in the coming days" following Rick Pitino's ouster amid an FBI probe into corruption in college basketball, according to Rivals' Corey Evans.
Padgett, who was a three-year starter under Pitino between 2005-2008, has spent the last two seasons as an assistant coach and the program's director of basketball operations.
If Padgett, 32, is ultimately promoted, the move will allow the Cardinals to maintain some semblance of stability.
